TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
Divide the laundry according to:
Type of fabric (cotton, mixed fibres, synthetics, wool, garments to be
hand-washed). Colour (separate coloured garments from whites, wash
new coloured garments separately). Delicates (small garments – such as
nylon stockings – and items with hooks – such as bras: insert them in a
fabric bag).
Empty the pockets:
Objects such as coins or lighters can damage the washer-dryer and the
drum. Check all buttons.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Before performing cleaning and maintenance, switch the washer-dryer off
and disconnect it from the mains power. Do not use flammable liquids to
clean the washer-dryer.
Disconnect the water and power supplies
Close the water tap after every wash. This will limit wear on the hydraulic
system inside the washer-dryer and help to prevent leaks.
Unplug the washer-dryer when cleaning it and during all maintenance
work.
Clean the washer-dryer
The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance can be cleaned
using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or
abrasives.
The washer-dryer has a “Auto-clean” cycle for its internal parts; it must be
run without any load in the drum.
To optimise this cycle, it is possible to use either detergent (10% of the
quantity specified for lightly soiled garments) or special additives to clean
the washer-dryer. We recommend running a cleaning cycle every 40 wash
cycles.
To start the cycle press buttons and simultaneously for 5 seconds.
The cycle will start automatically and will run for about 70 minutes. To
stop the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button.
Clean the detergent dispenser drawer
Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.
Care for the door and drum
Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant
odours from forming.
